One of my Regales spit out this new leaf not long ago and it just keeps getting bigger. I can't usually get these plants to keep more than 2 leaves in the summer. They definitely like the cooler weather better. The most leaves I have ever had on one at the same time is 5.

This one lost its main growth point for some unknown reason and started blooming off this secondary one, and now its activated 2 more and has new leaves coming in 2 new places

Gina, that is spectacular! The veining is striking.

Just love this thing, keeps getting better and better.

Some high elevation/cloud forest Anthuriums that have been successful for me in San Francisco...

Anthurium cupulispathum is the easiest I've tried, it puts out new leaves constantly, even throughout winter. I think this is a real winner for our climate, I've planted a few of them now.

Anthurium pedatum is a little slower but also does well and has a nice leaf shape.

A. decipiens is a slower than the other two, but also is getting less light and water where I have it planted. Started as a tiny seedling.

i'm also trying A. pseudospectabile, it looks a bit ratty at the moment, I put it in the wrong place intitially but I think it may end up working now that I have it in a better spot.

Mt newest addition is an Anthurium seleri.  This is a young plant but seeing the mature plant leaf structure was the attraction.

Anthurium seleri. 

Nice find! I had to look that one up. Yes, very interesting leaves as they mature.

A quickie update:

To paraphrase a ghaad awful song tucked within an even worse music genre that will likely become someone's chronic earworm for the week, 

...Looks like we made it          ...Through it's inaugural winter that is.. 

  Feel free to thank me for the infection later..  FYI: Pays to be vaccinated against such things.. 😁  Anyway....


After noticing it starting to respond to increased warmth / sun angle inside,  decided it was time to place it out on the patio to see how it might respond..

After a couple weeks out there,  no issues so far.

Hard to see but, in shot #2, while the new leaf on the main plant continues to expand, it looks like it is already prepping for producing another,  ...while the offset on the left is throwing it's first new leaf since being purchased.. ..After the tip on it decided to dry up and fall off right after purchasing..







We'll see how things look in a couple months, once it is 85F+ every day...

Congratulations on making it through the winter!

And thank you for the ear-worm 😆. I’ll be bearing through that on the treadmill in a few minutes.

such interesting undulations on those leaves.

..Now the question is   ..Will you be able to out run the earworm..

Agree,  Don't recall it being listed on the tag but wondering if this is a " Fruffles " /  " Rancho Ruffles " clone.. 🤔 Figure it will be easier to tell once it reaches the size where it starts throwing bigger leaves..

Here’s an anthurium i got from ecuagenera last month at our orchid show.  I forgot the name but the red “bloom” really stands out amongst the plants in the sunroom.  Gongora fulva in bloom right over it.

This warocqueanum is working on this newest 29” leaf, still growing. Unfortunately got tears in the leaf while unfurling. Mine puts on best growth while temps remain below 80 degrees F. with 70 % humidity .  
 

It is so pampered in its glass case.  And, ironically, the bigger it grows the more it will face its own demise as it will outgrow the artificial confines of the glass cabinet. We’ll enjoy the good times while they last.

a few photos below in the kitchen for weekly thorough watering.

Impressive Joseph, enjoy while you can, it’s all temporary anyway. On another note, I had to chuckle at all the greenery in the background. I thought I saw a Toucan for a second there. That microclimate must be creating its own weather these days.

Lol. And thank you Tim.  Yes, with the wind howling at 50+ mph off the frigid North Atlantic Ocean today, this is my make-believe world favorable to toucans and anthuriums until I can someday retire to an enviable zone 10+ location where many of you fellow PT members live.😁

You're really gonna have to move south to see some Toucans, non escapee specimens that turn up in CA at least.. Might end up joining you myself, lol

Haha.  Wow, interesting that they can even be seen in CA.  I like that you qualified that with “non-escapees. “ Lol.
 

Always educational reading your posts, Nathan. I love the map.  All the places they live are places I’d like to be in the winter 😀 right alongside them.

Anthurium Claudiae and a freidrichsthali. Once you’re hooked on anthuriums it’s game over for the palm collecting. Move over palms the anthuriums are coming! Well not quite.
